I came to BridgeEdU not sure if college was for me. As a young single mother, I had no guidance or understanding of what college would be like; I wasn’t prepared. It is because of BridgeEdU’s support that I successfully completed my first year of college with a 3.0 GPA, and will continue into my second year as a non-profit leadership major.

BridgeEdU does the hard work many are not able to do, which is to really dig in and understand our students. We are very proud of the work BridgeEdU has contributed and look forward to expanding the partnership.

The goal is [with BridgeEdU] that more students out of Baltimore City who were not thinking about, or in any way considering going to college, but absolutely have the talent, with the right wrap-around services can get into college and complete.

If I were not a part of the BridgeEdU program, I would have gone to a community college first. With BridgeEdU’s help, I was able to go straight to a four-year college, and close out my first year with a 3.5 GPA! I have been empowered to do great things at Coppin with the help of BridgeEdU.

Our latest public-private partnership is with BridgeEdU. It’s a company that was started by Wes Moore to help students in their first year who people would traditionally call underprepared. I don’t like to use that phrase, I like to say underserved or differently prepared.
His company and my university are partnering through a grant through Kaiser Permanente and some other private sources. The goal is that more students out of Baltimore City who were not thinking about, or in any way considering going to college, but absolutely have the talent with the right wraparound services can get into college and complete.

Our investment in BridgeEdU supports an innovative social enterprise that provides intervention services to students and improves college retention among at-risk students starting in their first year of postsecondary attainment. This aligns well with Lumina’s equity imperative and college completion initiative, exemplifying the Foundation’s use of impact investing tools to drive mission.

From day one [Coppin] started planning with the BridgeEdU team so that we could have not only the academics needed, but the services that BridgeEdU was going to provide, to make a whole prescription for the students and what they needed.
